That is most certainly not the case Shane.
Both the XHTML2 WG and the HTML WG are developing specifications that
use the XHTML namespace. If you browse to: http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml
you'll see that this is clearly stated.
The HTML WG is developing the HTML5 specification which has both a
classic HTML (text/html) serialisation, and a XHTML
(application/xhtml+xml) serialisation.
